Eric reports that we need to get set up with Ultra Signup as soon as possible.
Eric reports he normally sets this up in February or March. Frank reports he
will co direct with Richard if need be. Frank reports we need to decide on
price and prizes. Eric suggest to advertise on North West Runner, Race Center,
Face Book and our website. Eric reports we need to contact DNR about race and
register the race with RRCA for insurance. DNR will require a hard copy of
proof of insurance. Eric says we need to let Ultra Signup know where to deposit
the money. The Ultra Signup website will give you auto updates after each registration.
Eric reports DNR will require a permit and Eric has one year left on a five
year permit. John Mark spoke up and said he wanted to be the race director
and is very familiar with the course. Later he disclosed that he thought it
was a paid position. Eric explained that he always volunteered his time. The
group discussed the possibility of some pay but did not commit. Jeff Hagger
said he would help mark the coarse. Jack Riggin said he could help but wanted
to run the 25k. The director will need to contact the sheriff’s office
for coarse monitor as per Eric’s suggestion from previous years. Frank
reports we need to pin down food for race.
